Churchill Square Car Park

[rool]

Completely off topic but on my first trip back to Brighton for three years I happened to park in Churchill Square. How bloody tight are those spaces?

Anyway, I was quite proud at how I managed to squeeze my car, within the parking lines, next to a K reg silver BMW with a seagull kit thing in the rear window.

On finishing my immaculate piece of parking the fat lump of lard owner returns to his bmw and starts complaining that he apparently only has two doors and that somehow my car, which was parked well within the lines, was impeding his access into his car. Well you obese tosser I managed to get out of my car quite easily without my door getting anywhere near your car and I'm not exactly small, does that tell you something.

I was so shocked at fatboys attitude that I yelled something at him and started wading towards him but the Mrs stopped me in my tracks.

I hope you are a member of this board and thanks fatboy for reminding me why I left the country in the first place.

That is all

Slagging of fat people should be an Olympic sport. Well done! But those spaces are evil, if only for the pillars. I've damaged two cars on them over the years.

yes, that car park is MURDER.

A tip for Churchill Square car park.
NEVER go to the upper levels. On entry, proceed immediately to the lower / basement levels for copious parking spaces that are hitherto largely ignored by the majority of drivers. These levels are also more dimly lit, and therefore much more condusive to a descreet rohypnol hijack.

Good tip and I have a Citroen C1 at home, but not practical for the family holiday from Ireland. I only have a C-Max and made sure that the passenger side was almost scraping the pillar after making my wife and kids get out of the car beforehand to make the manouvre.

seriously, I had forgotten just how unfriendly how some people can be when compared to Ireland.

I'm sure Ireland has it's fair share of idiots too.

ok excuse valid!! its the mums pulling up in huge 4x4's or people carriers when they have come 2mins down the road that does it, cars that big are good on disances but in towns/cities they imo are horrible as bad to park and not great for visibility out of (blind spots etc)

Car parks with pillars in them are awful to park in. Churchill Square is nowhere near the worst however. Try getting in the Hove Town Hall car park with cars either side. Impossible.

I didn't think you were old enough to drive!

But to be fair, a 106 is a piece of piss to drive, and I don't mean easy!!
